It was a mistake to go in. Your trying to paint McCain with Clinton’s mistakes are you? Don’t really care for either man but your argument should at least make sense. It would have better for our interests to stay in there until 2000 to stabilize the situation in that country? Why? Your down for going into Darfur I take it?

I agree it was a mistake to go in. My point was that if you are going in then you give the military the equipment they ask for. No way in he$$ do I excuse Clinton or McCainiac for anything.

Another similar dark chapter that you might want to study is the ill fated Iranian hostage rescue mission. (http://iran.theatlantic.com/interactive_article_page_1.html)where Carter cut back the amount of equipment the military asked for resulting in a terrible disaster.

Lesson - give the guys what they ask for.

It was a mistake to go in.

GHW Bush sent our troops into Somalia.

Your trying to paint McCain with Clinton’s mistakes are you?

In the video McCain is arguing to do what Clinton did and has been criticized for by conservatives and Republicans ever since.
